Speakers choices for AR REF-5/75s

Hi Folks-

Upgraded to Audio Research equipment and am driving a pair of Audio Physic Sparks. They were perfect with my SF Power 1 /ARLS2BMKII set-up. 

The speakers still sound is good. I like the sound staging, and ability of the speakers and amp/preamp to recreate the acoustics of the place the music is recorded in. BUT I'm looking for something else/more. Not sure what. Perhaps a tad more life/edge, which is why I'm soliciting advice.

My room is 12' x 20', with my sofa about 8 feet from the speakers, which are a 4' from the wall.

New or used, my price range tops out at $4000.

Thanks in advance!

Here's two excellent speakers that go well with your ARC equipment. Very efficient at 94db. Your amp will just be coasting. Both are well within your budget on the used market. 

Here's the speaker I've used for years now.  I love 'em.

Here's the big brother. Its more relaxed, but it might be too much for your room size.

I'm using the ARC REF-75se and a REF-3.
